HH Partners recently attended TAGLaw’s 31st international conference in Hong Kong. The conference, which took place on October 20 through 22nd, provided TAGLaw® members with the opportunity to strengthen the relationships they create within the alliance of more than 150 law firms from around the world.
“This was an excellent opportunity to meet colleagues around the world and to present our firm to other members after joining TAGLaw at the end of last year. Despite of the latest news from Hong Kong, everything worked very smoothly – Mr. Victor Chu gave a very good presentation on the reasons behind the latest events and Hong Kong’s special position as a part of China and its economy” says partner Miika Erkkilä who participated the TAGLaw international conference for the first time.
